Letter from Pastor Stephanie:
This past year was an amazing year of ministry at Zions’s. I am thankful and feel truly blessed that I was called
to be your partner in ministry. My first year as your pastor has passed so quickly, perhaps because of the bounty
of ministry that we have shared together in 2024.
We have done so many things to reach beyond our walls to welcome in neighbors from our community and to
minister to our neighbors who are far away.
– Joint confirmation ministry that has now expanded to include a fifth church.
– Joint worship service at Zions to celebrate our cooperative confirmation ministry.
– “Christmas in July” collection for In Ian’s Boots that provided hundreds of pairs of gently used shoes
& boots to be distributed locally, nationally and internationally.
– Zions Community Garden that continues to provide bountiful harvests throughout the summer to
local food pantries to feed our local neighbors in need.
– “Summer of Hope” – looking for signs of hope during the summer and providing $500 in support to
children and families in Guatemala through Tree 4 Hope.
– Zions Trek for ELCA World Hunger – walkers and bikers raised $1030 while enjoying the Bartram
Trail on a beautiful fall morning
– Nativity Display that welcomed many people from the community and collected $891 in donations
for Domestic Lutheran Domestic Disaster Response.
– “Jesus, Jammies and Joy” gratitude month project that collected 297 pairs of children’s pajamas
incorporating 3 additional partners collecting donations and distributing to 5 programs in two
counties.
Truly our “wagon tracks” have overflowed with abundance in the past year that we have shared with our
neighbors near and far. I look forward to discovering what new ministry opportunities God will place in our
path in 2025.
On behalf of those who grow in faith and know the love of God through the ministries of Zions Lutheran
Church, I offer a sincere heartfelt thank-you for your continued abundant support!
Surely God will crown the coming year with goodness and abundance.
Peace and blessings as we journey into a new year together,
Pastor Stephanie
